โPlease be gentle with yourself. I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Getting outside first thing, even for five minutes, helps my mood a lot. And talk to someone, even if it's just in here. Keeping faith.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy, the first few months were the worst of my life. But I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad, the breathing thing where you breathe out longer than in actually works for me so go slowly.โ
โHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are a few years back. It was pretending at work then collapsing at home and I couldn't see past it. Today I made breakfast, went to work and laughed at something. Bit by bit it comes back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
โReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are two years ago. It was losing interest in football and I couldn't see past it. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It's slow, but it does come back. xโ
